Ajay Kenneth Googoo was charged with assault with a weapon (a knife), possession of a weapon dangerous to public peace, and two counts of breaching court orders.

He was charged after an incident in June 2013 during which a 38-year-old man was sent to hospital with a non-life threatening injury to his hand.

A provincial court trial for Googoo was scheduled for this week but the charges were dismissed after the judge declined to grant a Crown request for an adjournment because the alleged victim in the case had failed to show to testify.
